Extremely Rare Map of The land of Eso or Hokkaido in Japan, 1725

About the Item

Plate 46: 'Le Pais d' Eso.' (The land of Eso / Hokkaido in Japan.) Extremely rare in this edition. This plate originates from the very scarse: 'La Galerie Agreable du Monde (..). Tome premier des Indes Orientales.', published by P. van der Aa, Leyden, c. 1725. This famous work was published in 66 parts and is the biggest print / map book ever published. Van der Aa incorporated plates by other publishers such as Blaeu, Visscher, de Wit, Meurs, Montanus, Dapper, Halma, Mortier, Allard in this work and often added broad decorative borders. Probably the costliest and complete universal geographic work ever produced. It is said that only 100 copies were printed. Ref: Koeman Aa9; Phillips 2780 note. Artists and Engravers: Pieter van der Aa (Leiden 1659-1733) was a Dutch publisher best known for preparing maps and atlases. The Galerie Agreable contains plates and maps by the best Dutch engravers: Luiken, Goeree, Mulder, Stoopendaal, Aldert Meijer, Romeyn de Hooghe, ao. Condition: Very good. General age related toning and light staining. Paper edge uncut and thus irregular and with occasional minimal tears. Original folding as issued. Please study image carefully.
